Ghoul and Sons Chemists

GHOUL & SONS CHEMISTS

Trusted Name for the Last 500 Years

“All Our Best Customers Are Underground”

This is my last Halloween treat for
you!!

This
piece has three tiers consisting of matchboxes, two Altoids tins and a chipboard
potion bottle for a back (the same kind I used for the potion swap). All the tiers are hinged together. The first tier is a matchbox chest with
drawers that open.The matchboxes are
sitting on a decorative piece of chipboard.
The chipboard is hinged to the first Altoids tin. By lifting the copper colored spider charm
you can lift the top to reveal the contents - the matchboxes and everything are still attached.

I used one of the chipboard
potion bottles that I used for the potion swap for the back of the piece. The first layer is a matchbox chest with
drawers that open. The matchboxes are
sitting a decorative piece of chipboard.
The chipboard is hinged to the first Altoids tin. By lifting the copper colored spider charm
you can lift the top to reveal the contents.

Inside the Ghoul sons are
busy at work mixing their concoctions. The
bottles you see are resting on a piece of chipboard. By pulling on the ribbon handles you can lift
the bottles out of the tin.

At the bottom of the tin are Masonite
bottles – the same ones I used for the book apothecary in the tutorial. You can use them to prop up the glass bottles
attached to the chipboard; like a traveling samples case.

The first and second tins are
hinged together. By pulling on the two spider web copper colored charms you can
lift the entire piece and access the second Altoids tins. That’s
where the Ghoul family keeps its spare parts!

Fantastic---as your fans have come to expect! One of the best Halloween projects I've seen on the net. You must work 24/7 to commplish so much---or you don't need a lot of sleep. Really enjoyed this one!

This is fantastic! What an imagination you have. I definitely am adding this to my Want to Make List for sure!! Thank you so much for all the OUT OF THIS WORLD creations you have shown and shared with us for this Halloween Season! I am anxiously wating for what you are going to come up with for Thanksgiving and especially for Christmas!!

Laura, Laura, how do you do it? Your creative mind is always in full throttle mode - and I love it! Yet another project that is off the chart. I especially love the pull out tray that holds the bottles - just brilliant! I honestly think that there isn't anything that you can't do or any engineering challenge that would stump you. LOL I've enjoyed all your video tutorials. I am especially interested in how you mangage to do so many projects back to back. I'd love to learn how I can manage my time more wisely. I can't keep up with you! LOL Please give us some tips on how to be more productive. Thank you so much for inspiring us all!
